Tree pruning is the practice of selectively removing branches, buds or roots to enhance or maintain the shape or structure of a tree. It is performed to reduce the risk of injury or damage caused by weak or hazardous branches, to enhance the quality of flowers and fruits, to improve the overall appearance of the tree, to reduce height, and to reduce shading from neighbor’s property. It is important to ensure the tree is pruned correctly and that only healthy and viable branches are removed. Improper pruning can cause damage to the tree or even death.
